Will it let the dog out and keep the cat in?

Hello! The Endura Flap that is used in the Thermo Panel 3e does have relatively strong magnets all around the border of the flap, so some cats refuse to use the pet door because of the force required to push through the flap. However we have also heard of cats that have no problem using the Endura Flap, so in the end it really just depends on the cat! There are no electronics in the Endura Flap to control who comes and goes, so it will ultimately be their choice whether they wish to use the flap or not. I hope this helped answer your question!

Yes, it will. I have two dogs and two cats. The dogs go in and out, but the cats stay indoors. I think if I wanted to train the cats to go out, I could by putting tape over the magnets so there would be less resistance. But its fine with me that the cats stay in.

Nope. My cat caught on how to use the door faster than one of my dogs. I like that, but if you have a strictly indoor cat, it won't work.

The flap is pretty heavy and held in place magnetically. My cat passed away before we purchased the door, but I couldn't imagine her being able to push through it.

Yes, but it's not as easy as getting in a regular cat box. I have the box in one room and now a pet gate across the door to that room so the cat has to hop the gate to use his box. Anything to try to keep my dogs from eating the cat poop...ewwww

your cat will be able to go out but will not be able to get back in.We use a magnet on the outside of the door to check that it works as it will click to unlock it.

a cat should be able to push it open -- however, I found that the unit was poorly designed and constructed -- it fell apart for me and I ended up throwing it away -- I would not recommend this pet door -- hope that this helps

yes. you can have your cat come and go all day and whatever time you program the door to NOT open (to go outside), the door will lock them in.

Yes. Absolutely. It is just a fabric door with magnets to keep it together. It is designed for animals to be able to go in and out of without trouble.

It should, my cat is 14lbs and there is room left over. The dog is 20lbs and he just fits.

if you keep it set to use the collar tags for the cats then the only way the raccoon can get in is to piggy back the cat so I would say yes

Probably... but that isn't a bad thing since if it were a real dog your cat would probably set him/her off too. Ours is situated in an area and when we pass it barks, but I don'[t mind since a real dog might too. If you put it where your animal doesn't go then it should not be an issue..there is a limit to the range. Also I saw where someone put a metal plate behind it so it would not pick up movement inside their house. That's an option.

I agree with V. Sams. Raise it off the floor so the cat can squeeze through but not the dog.

Yes. My cats get out on the balcony through it. It's not really designed to keep animals in or out. It's designed to automatically shut after someone ( or a pet) walks through it.

Yes you can lock the pet door so the dog cannot go out or other animals cannot come in.

If the cat is with you so you can let it out periodically, the kennel is big enough as long as the cat box is small.

I use mine for cats, but I do think your dog could easily tip this over and if it is staked down, he could likely rip through the zippered doors to get out.

Yes I think a cat can open the door as the magnets are not too overpowering. My cat went in and out of our old dog door and it was more difficult to go through. This door should not be a problem for your kitties!

I think it probably CAN, but it would be a bit awkward. The collar is fairly wide and heavy for a cat. Not sure whether the cat would respond the same as a dog... I.e. Would they shoot up the first tree they came too, or return home? I think it would definitely be less than ideal.

No. This harness is great. My cat would get out of the dog harness. This harness has wide Velcro strips so she couldn't squirm out of it and it was very comfortable for her. This type will be perfect in my opinion.
